CTBRFS(l) LAPACK routine (version 1.1) CTBRFS(l)
NAME
CTBRFS - provide error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution
to a system of linear equations with a triangular band coefficient matrix
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE CTBRFS( UPLO, TRANS, DIAG, N, KD, NRHS, AB, LDAB, B, LDB, X,
LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, RWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER DIAG, TRANS, UPLO
INTEGER INFO, KD, LDAB, LDB, LDX, N, NRHS
REAL BERR( * ), FERR( * ), RWORK( * )
COMPLEX AB( LDAB, * ), B( LDB, * ), WORK( * ), X( LDX, * )
PURPOSE
CTBRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution
to a system of linear equations with a triangular band coefficient matrix.
The solution matrix X must be computed by CTBTRS or some other means before
entering this routine. CTBRFS does not do iterative refinement because
doing so cannot improve the backward error.
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'U': A is upper triangular;
= 'L': A is lower triangular.
TRANS (input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies the form of the system of equations:
= 'N': A * X = B (No transpose)
= 'T': A**T * X = B (Transpose)
= 'C': A**H * X = B (Conjugate transpose)
DIAG (input) CHARACTER*1
= 'N': A is non-unit triangular;
= 'U': A is unit triangular.
N (input) INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
KD (input) INTEGER
The number of superdiagonals or subdiagonals of the triangular band
matrix A. KD >= 0.
NRHS (input) INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the
matrices B and X. NRHS >= 0.
AB (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAB,N)
The upper or lower triangular band matrix A, stored in the first
kd+1 rows of the array. The j-th column of A is stored in the j-th
column of the array AB as follows: if UPLO = 'U', AB(kd+1+i-j,j) =
A(i,j) for max(1,j-kd)<=i<=j; if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j) =
A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+kd). If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements
of A are not referenced and are assumed to be 1.
LDAB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array AB. LDAB >= KD+1.
B (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
The right hand side matrix B.
LDB (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
X (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
The solution matrix X.
LDX (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).
FERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The estimated forward error bounds for each solution vector X(j)
(the j-th column of the solution matrix X). If XTRUE is the true
solution, FERR(j) bounds the magnitude of the largest entry in
(X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the largest entry in
X(j). The quality of the error bound depends on the quality of the
estimate of norm(inv(A)) computed in the code; if the estimate of
norm(inv(A)) is accurate, the error bound is guaranteed.
BERR (output) REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector
X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any entry of A or B
that makes X(j) an exact solution).
WORK (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)
RWORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
